We are going all Gallic on today's next installment of the Judges blog, here at http://www.sendoptics.com/. So you are probably wondering why we are all sat in our Breton stripes, Beret's and drinking red wine. Well what's new with you ? with us here at Judges opticians in store we are very excited to finally be able to tell you of the first of our new ranges ....... Are you ready for this... we are proud to present the latest collection of Balenciaga Sunglasses.
So some of you may not be overly familiar with the Name Balenciaga. So here at http://www.sendoptics.com/ we are going to do a little getting to know you session to bring you upto speed.
Balnciaga is the is known as a French fashion house although the house now resides in Paris it actually began life in Spain or to be exact the Basque region of Spain. The house was founded by Cristobal Balenciaga in 1914 and Spanish Royalty were massive fans of his designs. When Balenciaga was forced to close his stores in Spain due to the Spanish revolution he moved over to Paris and quickly grew an even larger cult following with the fashion press quickly calling him a revolutionary in a dreary world.
The obvious comparisons quickly began with Christian Dior but in all aspects Balenciaga was so much further ahead than Dior with his design concepts and changing the shape of the way women dressed. In the postwar years he designed shapes that were so far away from what women had been used to wearing for so long and his designs were sculptured around the form.
Balenciaga basically has a history of going against the grain, creating trends not following in the shaadows like so many designers these days. Balenciaga today is a label that is reveered by the art scene and celebrity alike. Nicholas Gesquiere is in charge of the label these days and takes inspiration from the archives along with contemporary visions creating a youthful vibe mixed with effortless pieces.
You may have seen that Balenciaga launched their first perfume last year in time for Christmas, only to become the most popular scent of the year. Balenciaga has stores all over the world and opened it's first accessories store in where else, Las Vegas .... well if you must open one, you may as well go where the chips are flying high. So for what about the sunglasses i hear you chomping at the bit mes amis?. Balenciaga have plundered there accesories archives to bring you a vintage inspired collection of frames to suit different face shapes and of course this includes their most iconic 'cats eye'
So now all we need to do is welcome Balenciaga to the Judging panel and let us know what you think of this award winning collection.....
Keep safe
The Judge
